Harry Styles Wins British Court Order Banning Paparazzi

A British court has banned certain paparazzi from pursuing One Direction singer Harry Styles after the teen idol argued in court that the photographers were hounding him.

Styles, 19, sought the court order as a last resort after months of unsuccessfully asking the photographers to stop following him.

The court order prevents certain unnamed paparazzi from harassing the singer by car or motorcycle. It also prevents the photographers from monitoring the British singer, placing him under surveillance or loitering within 55 yards of his home, or of taking photos of him in such circumstances.

"This is not a privacy injunction," Styles' attorney, David Sherbourne, said, according to the Telegraph newspaper. "Mr. Styles is not trying to prevent fans approaching him in the street and taking photos. He remains happy to do that, as he always has."
